Getting to know Alan Silverman
I am a Therapist at Wellness Counseling Services, LCSW, PLLC. I hold a master's degree in Music Therapy and Counseling from Drexel University and am a board-certified music therapist. I provide music therapy services to clients across various mental health areas. My clinical experience includes working with people of all ages and a wide range of diagnoses. Additionally, I offer therapy to individuals without a formal diagnosis who are seeking personal growth, increased wellbeing, and peak performance.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I currently work as an associate clinician at Wellness Counseling LCSW, PLLC and as a music therapist with Northeast Creative Arts Therapies. I worked as a recovery clinician and became lead clinician at Northeast Community Center for Behavioral health from 2021-2023. There I treated clients 18+ with diagnoses of schizophrenia spectrum disorders, cognitive impairment, substance abuse disorder, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and borderline personality disorder. For my music therapy internship from 2020-2021, I worked as a music therapist at an outpatient psychiatric center where I provided treatment for children, adolescents, and adults. Furthermore, I have treated the geriatric population as well as children with special needs during my music therapy training.
My therapeutic orientation is eclectic, and draws from humanistic, transpersonal, existential, Adlerian and behavioral approaches. I tailor the content of the therapy sessions to match each client's unique goals, background, preferences, and experiences. My specialties include but are not limited to guided imagery and music (GIM), relaxation-induction, mindfulness instruction, song writing, musical improvisation, therapeutic drumming, and positive psychology techniques. I hold certifications in DBT, Health Rhythms, Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music, and Telehealth for Mental Health Practitioners.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
When scheduling a session with me, a client can expect me to bring a calming, containing presence and unconditional positive regard. The therapeutic techniques used during a session are tailored to the client's unique needs and resources. Similarly, the music used during the sessions are influenced by each client's unique musical preferences.
Depending on the needs and preferences of each client, I may utilize transpersonal music therapy techniques such as mindfulness with music, humanistic practices such as positive psychotherapeutic interventions, or existential approaches that encourage meaning and purpose in one's life. Furthermore, the session might comprise of a mix of the aforementioned techniques.
